Dongyin

?The second day, it was the sun again.Just as Chu Xiying thought in his heart, the weather started to turn hot.

Duan Hong slept until noon, and as soon as he woke up, a servant came in to announce that an envoy from the Son of Heaven had arrived.Duan Hong changed into a pale yellow silk robe, and asked the left and right, "What nonsense did the lonely king talk about last night?"

"Returning to Your Highness, last night Miss Biao came to serve me, and the slave didn't know about it."

Duan Hong listened, and raised the volume a little, "Then tell me something you know."

"Yes" Left and Right replied with a sinking heart, "The servant heard His Highness calling...Princess Mingyan's name, also, and..."

"Okay." Duan Hong stared at him, then looked back at the bed, "Move it back for me intact."

Responding to left and right hands, Duan Hong looked outside the door.Said that Duan Hong went out, and when he passed Shuiyue Pavilion, he saw a woman walking along the lake from a distance, it was Chu Xiying.She paused, then moved over.Who knew that Chu Xiying had the intention of avoiding her when he saw her.Duan Hong chased after her step by step, and almost caught up with her, but Chu Xiying still wanted to leave.Duan Hong grabbed her hand and asked coldly, "Are you hiding from me?"

Chu Xiying had no choice but to turn around, but she didn't look at her, and bowed her head in silence.

"Are you hating me for giving you poisoned wine last night?" Duan Hong stared at her hair on the sideburns, and asked forcefully, "Or, do you think I'm killing people and turning them into demons, so I can't avoid them?"

Chu Xiying kept silent, Duan Hong sneered, and said, "I knew it was like this. You use a moral ruler to measure others, but you never care about your own morality. You are proud of your morals!"

"Hong'er!" Chu Xiying suddenly raised her head, and said with pain in her heart, "Why do you think this way? If you treat people sincerely, will others treat you falsely?" Why did Duan Hong become so suspicious, subverting her opinion again and again her imagination.But why is she still heartbroken.

Under Chu Xiying's gaze, the hostility in Duan Hong's eyes gradually disappeared.She turned her head away, and slowly let go of her hands, "Your hands are too cold." She thought in her heart: She is wearing such thin clothes, but she still feels hot, why is Chu Xiying so cold

Chu Xiying was stunned for a moment, feeling dumbfounded, Duan Hong's mind is so changeable, like standing on the edge of a cliff, if he is not careful, he will be invincible.What if no one is around her to make a point?

"What's wrong with you?" Duan Hong looked at her hesitant face, as if there was something hard to say, guessed, "But it's because of your marriage?"

Chu Xiying ignored her mention, but forgot.Now remembering, I can only sigh lightly, without making excuses.

"You don't have to worry, your younger brother is too inexperienced, and I have to decide the marriage for you." Duan Honglue thought for a while, and said, "If I propose a marriage for you, that person must be able to swallow mountains and rivers with wit and might. ,how?"

Both civil and military.Chu Xiying looked at Duan Hong, and smiled quietly, "Maybe I don't love him?"

"Then what do you want?"

Chu Xiying subconsciously glanced at Duan Hong, his eyes darkened, but he joked, "Just take care of your princess, why bother with me?"

Duan Hong blushed.

Chu Xi caught a glimpse of her appearance from the corner of his eye, and despite being more heartbroken and regretful, he was still satisfied.At least in this way, Duan Hong will be safely on the edge of the cliff.Yinqiang wiped away the bitterness in his heart, and said, "In the future, if I have someone in my heart, I will tell you. But, don't make things difficult."

"It's really funny, what should I do to embarrass him." Duan Hong smiled contemptuously, and said, "In my life, I can only kill people, but I don't embarrass others. It's too troublesome to do that."

Chu Xi hesitated to speak.

"Even for your sake, I won't hurt him." Duan Hong's expression darkened suddenly, and he said through gnash teeth, "But I want him to understand that men are not the only ones in this world. Marriage is up to me." , I will be alone forever!"

"What does this mean?" Chu Xiying was startled.

"This morning, the Son of Heaven sent an envoy to order the Qi State to send troops to eradicate the Huang family in order to rectify the imperial power." The emperor's wings were hardened, and in the end he publicly ordered the princes to send troops to eradicate the Huang family.

Mrs. Huang, Chu Xiying suddenly remembered that Duan Hongqian said in a secret letter a few days ago that the Empress Dowager Huang fled to Liangcheng with a Taoist.But the emperor ordered the princes to march to Wu Xi in this name. Then Wu Xi must have set up a net of heaven and earth, and only waited for the princes to come.Didn't the state of Qi throw itself into a trap?

"I heard that you are also looking at these military strategies recently." Duan Hong sighed, and said, "But Jin is not the strong Qin in the book, it can't set such a big net. Whoever joins Wu Xi, who Then you can ascend the pagoda."

Chu Xiying's face turned reddish, silently thinking to himself.

Whoever joins Wu Xi can ascend to the temple.The emperor sent envoys to Qi, and he must also send envoys to other princes.In this way, even if Duan Hong can remain indifferent, the princes will send troops one after another in order to compete for the throne.The princes kill each other, and the army is destroyed, and there is always one person who will reap the benefits of the fisherman.Chu Xiying was startled, that person was by no means the prince who sent troops last, but...the person who made the arrangements.

That person is Wei Ming.Chu Xiying glanced at Duan Hong suspiciously.

Duan Hong nodded to her, frowned and remained silent.Wei Ming's move is a move that must win, whether she retreats or advances or does not retreat or advance, he is the winner.After all, the temptation of the throne is too great.

In this way, instead of waiting to be involved in disputes in the future, it is better to preemptively strike and fight to the death.

Chu Xiying frowned and said nothing. This time, I am afraid that there will be more bad luck than good luck.

In the afternoon of that day, Duan Hong summoned several powerful officials to discuss matters in Wensi Hall.Duan Hongfeng made Sujiali the orthodox capital, and Liu Qing was the commander of the imperial court, ordering the generals to arrange camps and send troops in the future.Let's say that Duan Hong has arranged all this, leaned on the chair for a nap, thinking that he can leave here tomorrow, he couldn't help but jump for joy in his heart.

"I don't know what kind of dream Your Highness had, so why not tell me what kind of dream you have?"

With this familiar voice, Duan Hong suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Shan Junxiang coldly, and said, "It's time for a day, what do you want to say?"

"Those are just past events. I believe you are more interested." Shan Junxiang smiled lightly and said, "Don't you hate military affairs? Why can't you wait now?"

Duan Hong was stunned for a moment, then calmly picked up a book and looked at her, "I now feel that the dead are much more convenient than the living. People always have to look forward, and I am no longer interested in those past things. , what else do you want to say?" Some things, if you grab them too hard, you will hurt others and yourself.

Shan Junxiang glanced at her hesitantly, and she had already noticed that something was different about her after just one day's absence.Yin sank his heart and said, "I want to go with you."

"We can go together." Duan Hong deliberately glanced at her wound, and said, "What's your use?"

The gaze and tone were so indifferent that they were unfamiliar, Shan Junxiang smiled, and said, "Twenty years ago, a court lady who was fortunate to the late emperor gave birth to a dragon son, and Huang knew about it when he was only a few years old. Fierce and jealous, the first emperor was afraid that she would not forgive her, so he secretly sent the mother and child to the folks to be raised, but pretended to be sued by others, saying that they were sent to the Taoist temple on the mountain. The Huang family was cruel and sent someone to kill the "little prince" , and found another boy to replace him."

Duan Hong looked at the scroll and said with a lazy smile, "I probably know all of this, so what's the matter?" But she didn't expect that the late emperor, who was so 'afraid' of his wife, would know.

"The substitute that Mrs. Huang is looking for is the little prince."

Duan Hong's face gradually darkened. Of course, the point of Shan Junxiang's words was not that the emperor was the real dragon emperor, because it was meaningless to her whether it was true or not.What she really wanted to say was that at the peak of the current era, even if Hua Xu had declined to the extreme, he could still slip in and out of the tiger's mouth, deceiving the world.This is such a big influence, no wonder as shrewd as Huang Shi, would be forced to hide in Liangcheng by a child with breasts.

The eyeliner Hua Xu wants to arrange has never had the possibility of betrayal, because betrayal means death.

"Can a pair of eyes deceive so many people's hearts?" Duan Hong threw the scroll on the desk, looked up at Shan Junxiang, and said, "Listening to you now is like listening to a baby laughing, there is no reason at all. Word!"

"Otherwise, you think that the emperor will send envoys to let the princes enter the army. Who doesn't know that entering the army means death." Shan Junxiang laughed and said, "When you tell lies, you listen with great interest, but when you tell the truth, you don't believe it."

"Even so, so what? I don't care if he is willing or unwilling." Duan Hong got up and went down to the hall, but he had no choice but to do so anyway.

"I don't mean anything else," said Shan Junxiang, "I just want to tell you, be careful of the people around you." Duan Hong wants to send troops first, but it is actually the best strategy out of desperation. After all, Qi is strong and Duan Hong is stationed in Jin , the princes will wait and see.Although, only for a while.

Duan Hong paused when he heard the words, glanced at her sideways, and said, "I see." After finishing speaking, he walked out.

Don't gossip, just before leaving on the second day, Duan Hong suddenly appointed Prime Minister Shan as the leader of the right.After offering sacrifices to heaven, he led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to the state of Jin.There was nothing to say along the way, and when we arrived at the border city of Changtai, eight days later, Shan Junxiang lay in the carriage for eight days, until his bones became weak, so he got out of the carriage. But not casually.

She looked up and saw a city tower more than ten feet high standing in front of her eyes, which was extremely mighty, and the strange thing was that there seemed to be no guards on the tower.

Duan Hong, dressed in military armor, sat upright on his horse, motionless, and it took a while before the former officer of the horse shouted, saying:

"I, King Qi, entered the city according to the order. City Lord, where are you?"

He yelled several times, but there was no answer.Duan Hong was suspicious, so he asked a soldier to look closely, the soldier cautiously looked forward, he just pushed his hand to the city gate, the gate moved, and it was actually opened.

"Back to Chitose, this city is empty."

Duan Hong was very puzzled, but it was already late, so he ordered people to open the gate of the city and went into the city together.
